leopard gun

[ruben2005]

hi all, well got my tam leopard 2a6 today i have a simple question can you move the gun up to a raised position and leave it there or does it always self level as it moves on the servo fully up or down many thanks

Hey Ruben,

With the 2A6, you have the ability to leave the barrel up as your traversing the garden. Do you have the Stab system for it? Hope this helps.

Hey Mate, The gun on my Leo can be pushed up and down only when the tank is off, but once I turn it on and it has power running to the servo it doesnt seem to want to move by hand easly but moves with the stick on the controller as per normal . Maybe your servo is stuffed have you tried another to check if its the servo or not...?

hi mate right servo knackerd trying to get a tamiya new one £44.00 is there a cheaper one, model number tsu-01 for tamiya part

[Reaper332]

Hi Mate glad she a relatively cheap fix, as for the servo any servo the same size should work as there's nothing special about it... Have you tried hobbyking they seem to be the cheapest around for that sort of thing or at least thats what I have found..

Cheers Ken
